ADVICE OF A BISHOP.

ton by Bishop McKierney.

AIBAs1 : n. Y, Jan. Sat the s o'clock
mass service IN 1. he cathedral Saturday morn
ing RI Rev Bishop Mckicrney made brief
reference to the labor Question, saying that
questions of supreme Importance had arisen
during the year just gone by, in one OF
which all are interested He advised his .T'no-
pie to take heed lest they may be Temporal
rily led astray by false leaders. Denag soueS
and designing men are ever ready TO seize
the opportunity Of turning public questions
to their own personal advantage. He re
quested them to heed the voice of their pas
tor, counseling prudence ana moderation, ad-
vising respect for the rights If Others, while
seeking to assert their Own. He said the
church has ever lent willing ear to the out
pourings of the weak and dowutrodden, and
never failed to stay the iron hand of the IN
Just and powerful, and has always inspired
respect for every individual right.
He concluded by again warning his peo-
pie against designing leaders, advising them
to Judge for themselves instead Of biindly
following false men, to ''be ready, like their
| brethren across the northern border, to lend
| a willing ear to the decision Of the church. "
